I am in Oakland, California. I started classical guitar around 1971 when I was 20 (after 5-6 years of rock). I have had long periods of devoted practice interspersed with equally long periods away from the guitar. I retired in 2020 and joined TB to try to reboot my playing.
I am currently working on (again) Monk-N-Ing by Bogdanovic and my transcription of May Day, #5 in Musical Toys by Gubaidulina. Other pieces that I am trying to maintain are Gilardino's Study #31 (from last week's posting and last months challenge), Brouwer's Tres Apuntes I and various pieces from BWV 996.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Long time on and off player. Started in 1968, proper classical in 1971 and flamenco in 1973. Currently revisiting Albeniz's Asturias and Sor's Etude No.17 (Segovia 20 Studies by Sor), making the effort to recapture them and add some more polish. Guitar has been a serious hobby however my bread and butter career had priority, glad to have more time now and good to have ToneBase at my keyboard!
